I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.
Information
When Ringo was on holiday, he rejected an octopus lunch. He was then
told by the waiter that he knew many interesting things about the
octopus' life. Ringo said: "He told me how they go around the
sea bed picking up stones and shiny objects to build gardens with.
I thought this was fabulous because at the time, I just wanted to
be under the sea too. I wanted to get out of it for a while."
